'Attention' in the Bible

And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

The crowds with one accord were giving attention to what was said by Philip, as they heard and saw the signs which he was performing.

and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, “This man is what is called the Great Power of God.”

And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts.
